First olympic transgender athlete to compete at Tokyo 2020 **MOD NOTE IN OP**

buried

She'll win f**k all. WOKES can't compete with the age old Olympic tradition of hardcore performance enhancing DRUGS.

What happens when a male to female boxer who transitioned at age 28 fights a cis gender woman?

I look forward to watching the fallout immensely...

A 6ft 2 rangy middle weight guy, now identifies as a female .... enters the ring to fight an... ‘actual female’... 5’ 10... same weight division...

Women's sport will be eradicated soon enough as this continues. Clearly its now equality and inclusion to exclude biological women and replace them with trans women.

What a heroine. :rolleyes:

In previous competitions, Hubbard (offspring of a millionaire) displaced athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds.

pfft ..The former Eastern bloc countries were blazing this trail decades ago.

The East German athletes were female at least albeit trying to emulate male traits.

Ye support it or else you're a transphobe.

I feel very sorry for the woman who missed out on a place at the Olympics because of this.

Who has probably trained for years and will now miss out. Seems very unfair to me.

And it seems on this topic, sport is conveniently either important or unimportant depending on what’s being argued. It’s important when a transgender person wants to feel included. But when it’s mentioned that a woman has to be displaced to make that happen, suddenly the attitude is “Sure, it’s just sport. Who cares?”.

It won't go down well in Japan. Especially with there only being local fans at events.

Pundits will be on eggshells. Anyone that criticizes it will be culled.

Pundits and commentators should study how the East German athletes of the ‘70s and ‘80s were spoken about.

How can someone stand on a podium and accept a medal like this? It’s not a victory, it’s a joke.

That sounds like far right bigotry talk to me.

South Park had this exact plot a few years ago.

Heather Swanson (a parody of Randy "The Macho Man" Savage from WWF) parachuted himself into women's decathlon competition and destroyed the competitors.

Due to political correctness, the women had to express their support for Heather's inclusion.

The whole situation is absurd. A top-class male is stronger and faster than a top-class female.

If this was something like archery, where the discipline is more weighted towards skill then I don't think anyone would have an issue with it.

But weightlifting? Seriously?

It may not seem like it but strength is a very big part of archery.

Well, that’s the thing. Hubbard isn’t exactly top class. And has qualified at far older an age than anyone else in the history of the event. I believe the previous oldest was 35.

Hopefully they win 25 medals and end this.

And how did Hubbard achieve this extraordinary feat?

Yes and she's a woman. So she is the first transgender Olympic athlete.

They will win one bronze medal.

An absolute joke of a decision! :mad:

An absolute travesty to 'real' female athletes who have worked very hard

to garner their place at the games!

That guy is misgendering. Misgendering is disgusting. This is really a case of don't blame the player blame the game so if the Olympics allow transgender athletes then it's not a case of this lifter taking someones spot it's simply her spot.
If the Olympics ban transgender athletes the repercussions are large. However it should simply be a matter of making the athletes pass a level of male hormones that is less than double the largest of non transgender athletes. Currently the levels of test allowed is many multiples of this.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. If there was a mental gymnastics event I'd say boards.ie would fill a team of medal certainties! :pac:

Maybe they should just let everyone compete in one big inclusive group? Do away with gender and weight classes.

So there’s a woman sitting at home in New Zealand, heartbroken probably, as she has spent years training hard for that ultimate goal that all athletes strive for. The opportunity to compete in the Olympics. But that final spot on the NZ team was taken from her not because of her ability but because a transgender woman with a completely different biological makeup took that dream away from her.

Move over women, there’s a section of society that’s better than you. So shut up and know your place.

****ing stinks!
